I’ve started on the Gloria pile!

Ditto, WOW! That’s a great photo on this winter day, that looks magnificent! Thanks Tony.

Tony, stunning job, a thing of wonder and glory!

 

Thanks to excellent machining by @ROBBO55, this not-Gloria lamp is next cab off the rank while I finish manufacturing the grate for my Gloria 2-burner stove.

The lamp came with my Gloria pile. It’s not common.



It is in rather sad shape because somewhere in the past the hanger (originally held in by 4 weld spots) came apart from the lamp and it fell to the floor. There’s a bit of realigning to do.

@Tony Press

Well, I think it looks pretty secure.

 

Not the prettiest solder job, but it’s well secured.

Cheers

Tony

 

That's the main consideration.

@ROBBO55

That’s some turn around! Stunning stove!

 

Nice restoration Tony, where does the glass globe fit?
Cheers, and stay safe mate

Not a Gloria, but it was in the Gloria pile and is well worth restoring.



It’s got a few dings but it should clean up well. I’m reconfiguring the shed/workshop so I need a relatively straightforward lamp to work on.

Cheers

Tony

 

Almost ready to get this wonderful lamp burning...



Cheers

Tony

 

@Tony Press
Lookin good, it’s come up very well. Not long now to the money shot.
Enjoy
Cheers
Pete

 

It's progressing!

Looking good to see it lit up now just needs shades..Bob

 

Too cold in the shed tonight Bob...

Tomorrow for the shades. Funny thing is, I’ve got three matching Coleman shades for this lamp, all of which are different weights! I might have to hide a bit of lead in the system to make it hang straight.

Cheers

Tony
@Lamp Doctor

 

@Tony Press That looks great mate, a real eyeful. Looking forward to seeing it with the shades.

 

Just starting to unpack...

Cheers

Tony

 

... somehow I didn’t upload the photos:





There’s a good piece of Australian pressure lamp history in there.

Not related to the above post. But straight out of the Gloria pile (but not a Gloria). I’m very happy that I’ve got this rather uncommon beast working!





Cheers

Tony
